i kinda agree with steve there. it is a bit of an odd course to do. but i can see the educational advantages.

the problem with getting an apprenticeship steve is that everyone and their dog is trying to get one but theres a lot less studios about these days so i can see where jay is coming from.

jay, have a look into doing the pro-tools course in conjunction with the mastering, that would give you a couple of nice qualifications.

Well it`s all dependant on location really.

In london you can throw a stone and it will hit a studio, and most people don`t even think of approaching a studio for coaching, everyone reads sound on sound or whatever, sees glossy adds for SAE or insert name here institute, and does a course.
I was the last apprentice at Jam, not because they weren`t taking on anyone, but because no one thought to ask.

It`s not easy to get into an apprenticeship, no, but then it`s not easy to get ahead in any area of music, full stop.
It`s who you know, how you build your contacts, how you present yourself etc.
Talent comes down the list somewhere.

With apprenticeships and getting your foot in the door, having the gift of the gab, and a good rapport with whoever you are aiming at is essential.

That`s what NLP is for though ;)
